Bot Template: Lightning Address Invoice + Payment Check (AI-made)

Lightning Address Invoice + Payment Check Bot Template

Overview

This Python 3 script template fetches a BOLT11 invoice from any Lightning Address via LNURL-pay (LUD-16/LUD-06) and polls the LUD-21 verify URL to confirm payment. It uses only the standard library (urllib) and is designed to be simple, secure, and easy to integrate.
